Rugrats 3rd Birthday Cake

This was the first really detailed cake I had ever done.  But Wilton makes it super easy!!  The client bought the cake pan for the Rugrats themed party.  To decorate, I just followed the step by step directions on the cake pan insert.  This was also one of the first cakes where I used a smooth buttercream base.  The trick to this is Viva paper towels.  No kidding!  Once you apply the icing, let it "crust over" for a few minutes.  Then, lay a Viva paper towel (and no other paper towel will work) over the icing, and smooth with your hands, or with a fondant smoother.  It's amazing!!
